I feel Stupid for asking but how do I connect to IRC?

[Nija]

(this sounds equally wrong) I've never done it, never seen it done, and want to learn, really badly...

Nija

(This is not a joke post, I actually want to know how to do it)

[Jenny]

Hey Nija, at the top of the gotapex page and click on chat. That is java. Then get in there and I'll teach ya how to use mIRC. :)

[BrewMaster]

Do you need to install some sort of software to use IRC or to track "buddies"?

[Leon]

Is this still up to date?

You should:P

Don't feel stupid we all had to start off the same way, either asking or trial and error... but i see the guys already filled you in

[brainsmile]

I want to be considered a high ranking official!

[Sir_Froggy]

i feel even stupider but wut is IRC?

[Sir_Froggy]

that's ok as long as i'm around u'll always be smarter than one person :D

[ChrisMG187]

Internet Relay Chat

[Nija]

IRC = Internet Relay Chat

or I Really Care, but that's a lie

Nija :)

[Sir_Froggy]

oh ok so sorta like ICQ or AIM?

[Nija]

slightly. It's like A Battle.net channel (your young, I assume you play DiabloI/II or starcraft) it's like that. you have channel ops and kicking and faces n cool stuff.

Nija

[Sir_Froggy]

oooh ok wow thats kool...

[Nija]

expect u don't have to usually deal with the massive lag and spam n stuff. And usually IRC channels can handle more people, in addition to like bots that can preform things like what the GAM around here does (except it would be automated..)

Nija

[Nanotech9]

yup. Me and Spiggigidiggidygacks have Trivia bots too. And Y2J has the Profanity bot (it kicks for profanity when its on).

[edit]

oooooops...
I didnt mean to offend anyone. I'll be carefull of my words next time.
Sorry!

[Burzhui]

Just taking out an offensive quote. No problem with you Burzhui.

[Nija]

REALLY?!?!?! ahh cool, so like ask it a question and it gives u a trivia questions or something... ahh that is so kick ass!!

ok, first off, I must opoligize to obby for what i had posted above... What i was trying to say in the post that i removed, was that in the past some of us in the public chatroom made some jokes at each other while chatting. Now, my first mistake was to make up something. I said we "had affairs" which in actuality all it was was a few of the guys called a few of the girls "sexy" and stuff like that. In no way was any of the chat in the chatroom serious at all. it was absolutely noting more than nonsense joking. I called it an "affiar" in my post because i thought some of the people that remebered the old jokes would get a good laugh out of it.

My second mistake was, (and blame this to my bad memory, cause we all know i have short term memory loss) that i named obby as one of the people in there, when in fact, she started talking in the chatroom a few weeks AFTER we did most of our joking. AND, since i poorly worded my original post, i wont say who it was that i got Obby confused with.

Again, I sincerely apologize for making a post that could be missunderstood SEVERLY by someone, and for naming the wrong person in my post.

Obby is in fact a very loyal wife and mother, and I have no doubt in my mind that she would NEVER EVEN REMOTELY CONSIDER being dis-loyal to her hubby.

I apologize to her hubby too. Sir, I apologize for wrongly placing your wife in as the butt of a bad joke, and hope you understand she has done nothing wrong.

- Thanks,
Nanotech9

Alright, I've gotten a GAM in one of my Threads, and started a small controversy.. ALRIGHT!!!!!
/end joke

Just to let everyone know, the chatroom has been actually fairly pleasent for the last couple of days that i've been in there. Watching OC come in and out (hope your DNS problems are fixed!) was a source of small amusement, but watching K2 and Jenny do there thing (uhh nothing s3xual in the remotest!) was actually really funny! I hope everyone stops into the Chatroom, they are a great bunch of people!
